Any interesting debate started on Guinn's public page today regarding her stance on trans bathrooms (the argument made it over to Pickles, and you can see it here). https://www.facebook.com/Duggar-Family-News-Life-is-not-all-pickles-and-hairspray-269181913180625/?fref=ts But, the liberal Duggar friend, Krista, responded this way, which I found interesting: I'd like to point out that I don't believe individuals fear trans people using a bathroom, they fear sexual violence. And, in order to move forward, we really need to identify this fear. Also, would you want someone who looks like Cait Jenner in a men's room? If we're truly afraid of individuals being sexually hurt, Cait is at a much larger risk than ANY OTHER POPULATION for being assaulted if she was to use a men's restroom. Also, what bathroom are individuals who are intersex (born biologically both male and female) to do? I understand your fears, friends. I understand how scary it is that America is moving away from traditional values. I understand how frustrating and scary and confusing it is to wonder, "What would Jesus want? What does Jesus do?" In all of this, whether you support trans bathrooms or not, we ALL MUST ASK OURSELVES, "Is what I'm about to say/write going to push readers closer to desiring God? Seeking redemption and draw me close to my creator? Is it kind YET truthful and defending righteousness?" If you had to question yourself, don't post it. I know Michelle made the news for doing a campaign to keep trans out of women's bathrooms. And then we all know Josh came out as a child molestor, and the Seewalds scolded him, so I'm just surprised the Seewalds commented on this. Thoughts?

Is it just me or does Bens mom seem apprehensive about the wedding. I was just watching the episode where Jess goes wedding dress shopping and Gwen (I think is her name) doesn't seem like she doesn't like jessa just seems like on some level she realizes that the marriage is kinda crazy considering Ben is a teen and they hardly know each other or themselves.

Ben's family does seem a lot more normal than the Duggars. And this isn't exactly a snark - but Jessa has been posting singing videos of Ben's sister and she mentioned that she is 14 yrs old. And I guess because of the conservative dress we don't get as many age cues as when someone wears more mainstream clothing - but I seriously would have guessed that sister was 24 or 34 not 14 - which I realize would have been poor guessing since Ben is the oldest - but that girl does not look like a young teen to me - her demeanor seems much older.

Ben's dad has started a blog: seewalds.com/ The first post is about how great it is to marry young Well this is true: oh shit: Second post is about salvation. God is to be feared, and we are all vile sinners. Jesus is the only path to happiness. No attempt to walk you through the sinners prayer like the Duggars because you know, calvinism. on the seewalds.com/about page it says about Ben: And has a little write up about the rest of them.
